Introduction

The "Hotel Melanoma" moniker is a metaphor for living with my particular brand of cancer. Except for those lucky few of us deemed "cured", all we cancer survivors are guests of one of the many, many branded hotels in the "Hotel Carcinoma" chain. We can check out any time we like, but we can never leave. Meanwhile, let's be livin' it up; and please support cancer education, prevention, and treatment research.

Colorado Melanoma Foundation!



The national melanoma nonprofits do a lot of very, very fine work. But they're also pretty good at holding fundraising events in Colorado and leaving no money behind that directly benefits the melanoma research, education, advocacy and prevention efforts that are going on in Colorado, a state where the rate of incidence of melanoma far exceeds the national average. So we're going to take matters into our own hands and go local, by starting the Colorado Melanoma Foundation. Please support our inaugural event...

To the tune of “Wild Horses” from the Rolling Stones…



Wild good giving is easy to do,
The cures you wanted we’ll get them for you.
Graceless Ray C, you know who I am,
You know I can't let you slide through my hands.

Wild horses could just drag C away,
Wild, wild horses, could just drag C away.

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain,
Now we've decided to show C the same.
But no sweeping efforts or late stage trials,
Could make me feel better, we’ll beat this in time.

Wild horses could just drag C away
Wild, wild horses, could just drag C away

I know I've ‘screened U, a skin tan’s a lie,
I have my freedom, but I don't have much time.
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried,
Let's do some living after C dies.

Wild horses could just drag C away,
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them that day.

Wild horses could just drag C away,
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them that day.
